I go for therapy twice a week- Camidoh opens up about his mental health
Ghanaian singer Camidoh has opened up about his struggles with mental health, especially following two serious road accidents he experienced this year. Emphasizing the importance of maintaining stable mental health, he shared the challenges he faced and the impact on his work.
“I was almost getting over my PTSD, and recently I got involved in two major road accidents that really became very traumatic for me. So I had to take my therapy sessions more seriously; now I do two in a week,” he revealed.
Camidoh spoke about the difficulties he faced as a creative dealing with mental health issues and how they hindered his work. He mentioned the need for financial support within the industry and expressed the challenges faced by Ghanaian creatives in comparison to their counterparts in Nigeria.
“It’s really tough in Ghana as a creative; we do not have the right funding to support us. There is a lot of pressure on Ghanaian creatives because of what is happening in Nigeria, but they have the funding,” he explained.
Additionally, Camidoh highlighted the financial challenges within the Ghanaian creative industry, advocating for more support to enable artists to thrive and make significant contributions to the country’s GDP.
